This Week In Doctor Who - December 6, 2010

This Week In Doctor Who – December 6, 2010Section ABy Benjamin F Elliott

New computer and no template to use. That’s weird. So where was I? Ah yes, Doctor Who schedules.

Due to production issues on this edition, it is going out on a Monday evening US time. Also, I am releasing the main Doctor Who listings before finishing the Torchwood listings or Section B (Sarah Jane, K9, and the PBS Doctor Who broadcasts). If you are reading this through the “Doctor Who News Page” or via the “Gallifreyan Embassy”, the extra sections will appear at the end of the page as they’re completed. I hope to publish a few more times in December as I put the column back together again. Hope to be truly “weekly” again by January. Still, we are not here to discuss my technical problems. We’re here to find out when our favourite show is on TV all around the world.

Yes, I’m aware of the international iPlayer coming next year. I’ll try to include it in the listings if relevant. Let’s see what the result is.
